Mini BiographyEmma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born in Paris, France to parents, Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson. At the age of five, Emma's parents divorced and she then moved to Oxfordshire, England with her mother and younger brother, Alexander. Since the divorce, Emma's extended family has grown as her parents both have new partners. Her father has a son named Toby, and identical twin daughters, Nina and Lucy, and her mother's partner has two sons. Emma now resides in England with her mother, younger brother, and her two stepbrothers.Why Is She Famous?Emma Watson has achieved worldwide fame as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie series. "I could be 100 years old and in my rocker,” she says, “but I'll still be very proud that I was part of the Harry Potter films." Although the actress wants to concentrate on school now that she's done filming the Potter series, you can see her in Burberry's 2009 Fall/Winter campaign.SuccessEmma Watson hasn't worked on very many projects outside of the Harry Potter franchise, but that hasn't hurt her bank account. She continuously makes appearances on magazine lists dedicated to the richest young stars, including coming in at No. 6 on the Forbes' list of "Most Valuable Young Stars." The Harry Potter films have given Emma a comfy financial cushion of over £10 million, meaning she can attend university this fall student-loan free. “Let’s be honest," says Emma. "I have enough money never to have to work again, but I would never want that. Learning keeps me motivated.” We definitely admire her frankness.
